The Cougars got an infusion of quickness when they signed Tim McTyer from Los Angeles Junior College in 1995. McTyer, who played safety and halfback in high school, earned All-America honors in junior college. A hard-hitting tackler, McTyer turned a lot of heads his junior year at BYU. Entering his senior season, McTyer gained 12 pounds and looked tougher than ever at his right cornerback spot. BYU's secondary had struggled in the early '90s. Working without depth or speed, many BYU championship teams in the Ty Detmer and John Walsh eras had to outscore opponents because opposing quarterbacks could pick on Cougar cover men and do a lot of damage.
12 ranking, he tried hard to show how it was a solid sell. Based, he claimed, on competition. "Our committee saw great parity in the teams ranked No. 5 through 12, and these two teams brought the most plusses to the table," Junker said. A little embarrassed for his friend Edwards, Penn State coach Joe Paterno almost apologized for BYU not receiving the invitation given to his team. "What would be better than this is a method of ranking teams that is not political," Paterno said. James, a former SMU running back, went right ahead and asked the "BYU question" for the panel.
But even now, when I go back to BYU, guys are hanging around eating lunch or studying right outside of coach Edwards' office door. It's a great atmosphere. When I walked on campus for the first time, I never in my wildest imagination thought I would someday win the Heisman Trophy. I just hoped I'd get a chance to play football. That king of thing just happens. What happened to me, I've said many times, was the culmination of efforts by many people. Quarterbacks like Gary Shiede, Gifford Nielsen, Marc Wilson, Jim McMahon, Robbie Bosco and Steve Young paved the way, and BYU became known as a quarterback factory.
